Applying to Offline Hackathons
How to apply to Offline Hackathons on Devfolio 🏢
Offline hackathons are strictly team hackathons.
Note
You can apply individually and may get accepted, but to make a project submission, joining or creating a team is mandatory.
This is subject to the organizer’s discretion — some may allow individual participation.
👥 Apply for the Hackathon & Create a Team
Steps:
- Search for the hackathon on Devfolio or use the ‘Apply with Devfolio’ button on the event site.
- Login with your Devfolio credentials.
- You’ll land on the ‘My Hackathons’ page where the application starts.
- You’ll be asked to consent to share your profile details with the organizers, including:
- Your name, username, bio, gender, t-shirt size.
- Your Devfolio profile skills/experience.
- Your email and emergency contact.
- After consenting, proceed to answer organizer-specific questions.
- Fill out all required fields until your application reaches 100%.
- Once complete, the Join or create team button will activate.
- Click it to either:
- Create a new team (enter a team name → click Create team), or
- Join an existing team (more in next section).
- Once your team is created, you'll see an invite code.
- Share this code with teammates.
- When all members have joined, the team admin can submit the team application.
- The team’s application is now ready for organizer review.
Solo Participants
If you're participating solo, follow the same steps to create a one-member team.
This is only valid if the hackathon’s minimum team size is set to 1.
👯 Invite Team Members
Steps:
- Follow steps 1–7 from above.
- Once your form reaches 100%, click Join or create team.
- Enter the invite code from your team admin.
- Click Join Team — Devfolio will validate the code.
- You’ll see your team name, code, and teammates.
- Once all members have joined, the team admin can submit the application.
✅ Submit the Team for Review
Important!
Once accepted, each team member must RSVP within the deadline so organizers can check you in.
If even one person doesn’t RSVP, the team won’t be able to submit a project.
